I think I need tips.
It's 230 245, I get up at 5, but I've been awake for more than an hour because I keep breaking out into hives. After changing my clothes and checking the bed for bugs and realizing the randomness of the rash placement, I went to Dr Internet, and I think it's just stress.
I had a bad weekend, tomorrow (well, today) is gonna be rough, and the holidays are looking grim - the stress is going to keep coming. I need to handle it better, though, because adding rash-induced sleep deprivation isn't going to help.
I think I need to do a better job of taking care of myself. How are you taking care of yourself? Big things, small things, any things - what is working for you?
Couldn't really help ya since my way of handling stressful emotions is to fully embrace, bathe in them, then measuredly channel them into my actions. I guess it's my way of accepting and validizing my feelings then slowly letting go of them.
A more understandable answer I'd give is to listen to mood music and simply letting yourself and your feelings go for a brief moment and merge yourself with the music. Like right now I'm listening to this. For now while I'm typing this comment I'm lucid and concious of my actions but after I tap "post" and put away my phone to resume listening, I will for a brief moment simply cease to exist and simply be a part of the world watching the sun rise.
